About the Team: The Mission Management team sits at the intersection of customer needs and Relativity's capabilities, ensuring seamless execution of our launch services from contract development through deployment on orbit. This team is uniquely broad in scope, requiring a systems-level mindset and the ability to translate across engineering and business functions. Far more than traditional program management, the role demands a deep cross-functional understanding and the ability to navigate both customer priorities and internal constraints. As we shift from development to operations, this team becomes central to execution, owning mission-specific cost, schedule, and performance while helping define how we scale our launch services.

- Serves as the primary point of contact for customers, owing the customer relationship, mission requirements and verifications, and is responsible for seamless planning and execution of integration and launch for individual customer satellites on dedicated and multi-manifest missions.
- Transitions effortlessly between discussions with government and international customers about interface requirements, vehicle engineers about mission specific hardware development, and executives about program status, issues, and risks.
- Supports our Business Development team by performing mission compatibility analysis, sales engineering and technical requirement negotiations to grow launch contract backlog.
- Supports launch system product development by integrating space market insights and customer product interface requirements to make smart trades and increase market capture.
